I figerred out all my old computer problems have to do with the fact that there

Geekiness: 3

Where can I get a hard drive (internal or external, whatever's easier) for cheap? I just want the computer for typing stuff up and occassionally go online. I have everything else that is needed, just the hard drive. Presently, my budget allows for $20 purchases, but I don't like spending that much on something I don't (and probably won't) need.

Newegg.com has a lot of hardware cheap and you can sort by price!

Ebay is extremely cheap too. Also if you know how to replace the internal hard drive, do that because an external one is much more expensive and I don't even think that there is one that is in your price range. Check this one out (I'm guessing that it's IDE and is for a desktop pc): http://cgi.ebay.com/Western-Digital-Caviar-40GB-7200RPM-WD400BB-Hard-Drive_W0QQitemZ150128837582QQihZ005QQcategoryZ64460QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

NOTE: There is actually no hard drive for under $20 on Newegg.com

I forgot to mention I'm not allowed to shop online, my parents don't want me 'getting attacked by hackers and losers like that'. It's stupid, I know, but that's how it is.

walmart sells some, but stay away from the m a x t o r brand note the spaces, wonerful little loophole in the trademark laws, the drives usually die in about 1 yr, Or ask your parents to look on e b a y for one
